I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Informatica (Bengaluru) in Jun 2014
Interview
1. Written MCQ + written coding test
30 MCQ most of basic technical. One can easily clear if their fundamentals are clear on data structure, algorithm, OS, DB and networking. Fairly easy.
Coding round : 15 code and around 1.30 hr and we have been given to improve code and also write some logic entirely. It is bit lengthy and I was able to code around 12-13 questions out of which 10 are accurate and in 3 i have describe login in words as i was short of time.
3 technical round
1 Manager round
1 HR round
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Design data structures for top N trending items for retail shop. Items keep on coming online and trends keep on chaning (idea : use heap data structure... max heap will give you top trending item)
2. BST tree related code ..fairly easy. Like convert BST to greater sum tree.
3. some matrix puzzle and I could not code but explain the logic as he was more interested in logic only.
4. puzzle on weight.. easy one
5. B tree code was given and I had to tell what this code doing/..fairly easy with recursion understanding.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Informatica (Bengaluru) in Jun 2011
Interview
C++, Data structures, stacks, queues, puzzles. Puzzles based on stacks, queues (solve with and without recursion). Also, OS concepts like race conditions, mutex, semaphore related questions are also useful though most priority is given to data structures, algorithms (Breadth first, depth first traversal etc). Questions related to binary tree, search for a sub-tree etc were also asked.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Informatica (Bengaluru) in Jul 2015
Interview
there was one written test. which have four section related to algorithms, database, operating system and oops concept. Test questions were good. but the sequence of pages of question paper was not properly sequenced. so it has take time to understand some questions. after that there were face to face interview.
